The hereinafter-used term of “optical axis direction” may be defined as an optical axis direction of a lens module coupled to a lens drive device. Meantime, the “optical axis direction” may be interchangeably used with a vertical direction, a z axis direction and other directions.

The term of ‘auto focus function’ used hereinafter may be defined as a function of automatically matching a focus of a subject by adjusting a distance to an image sensor by moving a lens module to an optical axis direction according to a distance to the subject in order to obtain a clear image of the subject from an image sensor. Meantime, the “auto focus” may be interchangeably used with an “AF (Auto Focus)”.

The term of ‘handshake correction function’ used hereinafter may be defined as a function of moving or tilting a lens module to a direction perpendicular to an optical axis in order to offset a vibration (movement) generated by an external force on an image sensor. Meantime, the ‘handshake correction’ may be interchangeably used with the ‘OIS (Optical Image Stabilization)’.

Hereinafter, a configuration of an optical device according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The optical device may be any one of a hand phone, a mobile phone, a smart phone, a portable smart device, a digital camera, a notebook computer (laptop computer), a digital broadcasting terminal, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a PMP (Portable Multimedia Player) and a navigation device. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and may include any device capable of capturing an image or a photograph.

The optical device may include a main body (not shown), a dual camera module and a display part (not shown). However, any one or more of the main body, the dual camera module and the display part may be omitted or changed.

The main body may form an external shape of an optical device. The main body may include a cubic shape, for example. In another example, the main body may be at least partially rounded. The main body may accommodate a dual camera module. One surface of a main body may be disposed with a display part. One surface of main body may be disposed with a display part and a camera module, and the other surface of the main body (surface opposite to the said one surface) may be additionally disposed with a dual camera module.

The dual camera module may be disposed on the main body. The dual camera module may be disposed on one surface of main body. The dual camera module may capture an image of a subject. The dual camera module may be partially accommodated into the main body. The camera module may be formed in a plural number. At least one of the plurality of camera modules may be a dual camera module. A portion of the plurality of camera modules may be a single camera module (may be called a camera module). The plurality of camera modules may be respectively disposed on one surface and the other surface of the main body.

The display part may be disposed on the main body. The display part may be disposed on one surface of main body. That is, the display part may be disposed on a same surface as that of dual camera module. Alternatively, the display part may be disposed at the other surface of main body. The display part may be disposed on a surface disposed at an opposite surface of a surface disposed with the dual camera module. The display part may output an image captured by the dual camera module.

Hereinafter, configuration of a dual camera module according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 14 is a perspective view of a dual camera module according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

The dual camera module may further comprise a lens module (not shown), an infrared filter (not shown), a PCB (10), an image sensor (not shown), a controller (not shown) and a dual lens drive device. However, any one or more of the lens module, the UV cutting filter, the PCB (10), the image sensor, the controller and the dual lens drive device may be omitted or changed from the dual camera module.

The lens module may include at least one lens. The lens module may include a lens and a lens barrel. The lens module may include one or more lenses (not shown) and a lens barrel accommodating the lens. However, one element of the lens module is not limited to the lens barrel, and any holder structure capable of supporting one or more lenses may suffice for a lens module. The lens module may include a first lens module and a second lens module. The first lens module may be coupled to a first bobbin (210 a). The second lens module may be coupled to a second bobbin (210 b). The lens module may integrally move with the first and second bobbins (210 a, 210 b). The lens module may be coupled to the first and second bobbins (210 a, 210 b) by way of an adhesive (not shown). For example, the lens module may be screw-connected to the first and second bobbins (210 a, 210 b). Meantime, a light having passed the lens module may be irradiated on an image sensor. Furthermore, the flare phenomenon may be effectively removed by applying a black mask to a lens according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

The infrared filter may shield a light of infrared region from being incident on an image sensor. The infrared filter may be interposed between the lens module and the image sensor. For example, the infrared filter may be disposed on a holder member (20) separately disposed from a base (430). In another example, the infrared filter may be mounted on a through hole (431 a, 431 b) of the base (430). The infrared filter may include a first infrared filter and a second infrared filter. The first infrared filter may be mounted on the first through hole (431 a) of base (430). The second infrared filter may be mounted on the second through hole (431 b) of the base (430). The infrared filter may be formed with a film material or a glass material. The infrared filter may be formed by allowing an infrared cut-off coating material to be coated on a plate-shaped optical filter such as an imaging plane protection cover glass or a cover glass. For example, the infrared filter may be an infrared absorption filter absorbing the infrared. In another example, the infrared filter may be an infrared reflection filter reflecting the infrared.

The abovementioned black mask is to inhibit miscellaneous lights from being incident on an image sensor by flare phenomenon, and may be formed about an infrared filter. However, when a black mask is formed on an infrared filter, there may be a fear of positions of masks being alternately disposed due to accumulation of assembly tolerance in the process of applying two infrared filters when a dual lens is formed. Thus, in the present exemplary embodiment, when a dual lens is formed, a black mark may be formed on a lens module that passes through a separate alignment process.

The PCB (10) may be disposed at an upper surface with a base (430). The PCB (10) may be disposed at a lower surface of base (430). However, a separate holder member (20) may be interposed between the PCB (10) and the base (430). The PCB (10) may be disposed with an image sensor. The PCB (10) may be electrically connected to an image sensor. A light having passed the lens module of a dual camera module may be irradiated on an image sensor disposed on the PCB (10). The PCB (10) may supply a power (current) to first to third coils (220 a, 220 b, 422). Meantime, the PCB (10) may be disposed with a controller for controlling the dual lens drive device.

The image sensor may be disposed on the PCB (10). The image sensor may be electrically connected to the PCB (10). For example, the image sensor may be coupled to the PCB (10) by way of SMT (Surface Mounting Technology) method. In another example, the image sensor may be coupled to the PCB (10) by way of flip chip technology. The image sensor may include a first image sensor and a second image sensor. The first image sensor may be so disposed as to match a first lens module by way of optical axis. The second image sensor may be so disposed as to match a second lens module by way of optical axis. In other words, an optical axis of the image sensor and an optical axis of the lens module may be aligned, through which the image sensor can obtain a light having passed the lens module. The image sensor may convert a light irradiated on an effective image region to an electric signal. The image sensor may be a CCD (Charge Coupled Device), a MOS (Metal Oxide Semi-Conductor), a CPD and a CID. However, the types of image sensor (160) are not limited thereto, and any structure capable of converting an incident light to an electric signal may be included.

The controller may be mounted on the PCB (10). In another example, the controller may be disposed on an outside element aside from the PCB (10). The controller may individually control a direction, intensity and an amplitude of a current supplied to the first to third coils (220 a, 220 b, 422). The controller may perform any one or more of an AF function and an OIS function of the dual camera module by controlling the current supplied to the first to third coils (220 a, 220 b, 422). That is, the controller may move or tilt the lens module to an optical axis direction or to a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction. Furthermore the controller may perform any one or more of the feedback control of the AF function and a feedback control of the OIS function. To be more specific, the controller may receive a position of a housing (310) detected by a sensor (800) to perform an OIS feedback control by controlling a current applied to the third coil (422). The feedback control by the controller thus mentioned may be generated in real time to allow performing a more accurate AF function and an OIS function.

Each of the openings (110 a, 110 b) may be greater in size than a diameter of lens module to allow the lens module to be assembled through the openings (110 a, 110 b). A light having been introduced into and through the openings (110 a, 110 b) may pass through the lens module. At this time, the light having passed the lens module may be converted to an electric signal by an image sensor and may be obtained as an image.

Hence, a total of 28 terminals are required for a dual camera module where two single OIS modules are arranged in parallel. In view of the fact that only a total of 16 terminals are required in the realization of an OIS driving for a dual camera module in the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention, it may be seen that 12 terminals are omitted over the foregoing comparative exemplary embodiment. Thus, the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention has an advantageous effect in that working processes may be simplified and obtainment of space for terminals and conductive line design can be advantaged.

The damper (700) in the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention may be coated on the second extension part (514 ab) and the first outer part (511 a). Through this structure, the resonance phenomenon generated on the elastic member (500 a, 500 b) and the support member (600) may be inhibited. Furthermore, the said structure has an advantageous effect over a structure where the damper (700) is coated on the coupling part (514 a) and the housing (310) or on the support member (600) and the housing (310) in that design is easy.

However, any one or more of the outer part (511 b), the inner part (512 b), the connection part (513 b) and the coupling part (514 b) may be omitted or changed from the first upper elastic member (510 a).

The outer part (511 b) may be coupled with the housing (310). The outer part (511 b) may be coupled to an upper surface of housing (310). The outer part (511 b) may be coupled with a lug (313) of housing (310). The outer part (511 b) may include a first coupling hole coupled with the lug (313) of housing (310). The first coupling hole of the outer part (511 b) may be coupled by being fused with the lug (313) of the housing (310).

That is, the damper (700) may be coated on the second extension part and the outer part (511 b). Through this structure, the resonance phenomenon generated from the elastic member (500 a, 500 b) and the support member (600) may be inhibited. Furthermore, the said structure has an advantageous effect over a structure where the damper (700) is coated on the coupling part (514 b) and the housing (310) or on the support member (600) and the housing (310) in that design is easy. This is because the second upper elastic member (510 b) is relatively easy in design change and manufacturing compared with the housing (310).

The first coupling hole (511 aa) of the first outer part (511 a) at the first upper elastic member (510 a) according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention may be coupled by being fused to a lug (313) of the housing (310). Furthermore, the first inner part (512 a), the second outer part (521 a) and the second inner part (522 a) may be coupled to the housing (310) and the first bobbin (210 a) using an adhesive.

That is, one area out of two areas coupled by the first upper elastic member (510 a) with the housing (310) and two areas coupled by the first upper elastic member (510 a) with the first bobbin (210 a) may be coupled by fused coupling between a lug and a hole, and the remaining three areas may be coupled by allowing an adhesive to be coated on a coupling hole.

In the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention, in light of the fact that a mutual optical axis alignment between the first bobbin (210 a) and the second bobbin (210 b) is important, only one area is coupled by fusion among the four coupled areas and the remaining three areas are coupled by using an adhesive, as mentioned above. Thus, in the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a phenomenon of the first bobbin (210 a) and the second bobbin (210 b) being misaligned may be inhibited due to generation of tilt in the process of the first elastic member (500 a) being coupled to the first bobbin (210 a). Conversely, in the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a phenomenon of the first bobbin (210 a) and the second bobbin (210 b) being misaligned may be inhibited due to generation of tilt in the process of the second elastic member (500 b) being coupled to the second bobbin (210 b).

At this time, the bobbin (210 a, 210 b) may integrally move along with the housing (310). In another example, the support member (600) may tiltably support the housing (310) relative to the stator (400). That is, the support member (600) may support to allow the housing (310) and the bobbin (210 a, 210 b) to perform an OIS driving. At this time, the support member (600) may be called an ‘OIS support member’. For example, the support member (600) may be formed with a wire. In another example, the support member (600) may be formed with a leaf spring.

The support member (600) may be connected to the first upper elastic member (500 a) and the substrate (410). The support member (600) may be connected to the second upper elastic member (500 b) and the substrate (410).

An upper end of the support member (600) may be coupled to the coupling part (514 a, 514 b) of upper elastic member (510 a, 510 b). The upper end of the support member (600) may pass through the coupling part (514 a, 514 b) of upper elastic member (510 a, 510 b). In the said structure, the upper end of the support member (600) may be coupled to an upper surface of the coupling part (514 a, 514 b) of upper elastic member (510 a, 510 b) by way of soldering. In a modification, a lower end of the support member (600) may be coupled to a substrate part (421) of circuit member (420). The lower end of the support member (600) may be coupled to the base (430). The upper end of the support member (600) may be coupled to the housing (310). The said structure of support member (600) is not limited thereto, and any structure capable of movably supporting the OIS mover (300) to the stator may be provided. The support member (600) may be coupled to a second extension part (514 ab). The support member (600) may include four (4) support parts. Each of the support parts may be a wire. A lower end of wire may be soldered to a lower surface of substrate (410). An upper end of wire may be soldered to the coupling part (514 a).

The support member (600) may be formed with a plurality of elements. The support member (600) may be formed with four (4) support parts, each spaced apart from the other. At this time, the support part may be a wire. The support member (600) may be formed with four wires (601, 602, 603, 604), each wire spaced apart from the other wire. The support member (600) may be formed with first to fourth wires (601, 602, 603, 604), each wire spaced apart from the other wire. The support member (600) may include first to fourth wires (601, 602, 603, 604), each wire spaced apart from the other wire. The support member (600) may be comprised of first to fourth wires (601, 602, 603, 604), each wire spaced apart from the other wire. That is, the support member (600) may be formed with a total of four (4) wires. In particular, the support member (600) may be formed with first to fourth wires (601, 602, 603, 604) each paired with the first to fourth upper elastic units (510 aa, 510 ab, 510 ba, 510 bb).

The damper (700) may be formed with a material having viscosity. The damper (700) may be coated on the outer part (511 a) and the coupling part (514 a). The damper (700) may be coated on the second extension part (514 ab) and the first outer part (511 a). Through this structure, the resonance phenomenon generated from the elastic member (500 a, 500 b) and the support member (600) may be inhibited. To be more specific, through the said structure, a phenomenon of oscillation generated from intrinsic resonance frequency of elastic member (500 a, 500 b) and the support member (600) may be inhibited. Furthermore, the said structure has an advantageous effect of easy design over a structure where the damper (700) is coated on the coupling part (514 a) and the housing (310) or to the support member (600) and the housing (310). This is because the first upper elastic member (510 a) is relatively easy in design change and simple in manufacturing compared with the housing (310).

The sensor (800) may be coupled to the substrate (410). The sensor (800) may detect the magnet (320). The sensor (800) may be accommodated into the sensor coupling part (433) of base (430).

The sensor (800) may detect the movement or tilt of the housing (310) and/or the bobbin (210 a, 210 b) to a direction perpendicular to an optical axis. The sensor (800) may detect the magnet (320). The sensor (800) may detect the magnet (320) disposed on the housing (310). The sensor (800) may detect the position of housing (310). The sensor (800) may detect an amount of movement of the housing (310) to a direction perpendicular to an optical axis. At this time, the amount of movement of housing (310) to a direction perpendicular to the optical axis may correspond to that of the bobbin (210 a, 210 b) and to that of the lens module coupled to the bobbin (210 a, 210 b). The sensor (800) may be disposed on the stator (400). The sensor (800) may be disposed on a lower surface of substrate (410). The sensor (800) may be electrically connected to the substrate (410). The sensor (800) may be disposed on the base (430). The sensor (800) may be accommodated into the sensor coupling part (433) formed on an upper surface of base (430). The sensor (800) may be a Hall sensor. The sensor (800) may be a Hall IC (Hall integrated circuit). The sensor (800) may detect a magnetic force of magnet (320). That is, the sensor (800) may detect the change in the magnetic force of magnet (320) when the housing (310) is moved to detect the displacement quantity of the housing (310). The sensor (800) may be provided in a plural number. For example, the sensor (800) may be provided in two pieces to detect the x axis and y axis (optical axis is z axis) movement of housing (310). The sensor (800) may include a first axis sensor (810) detecting the movement to a first axis direction of the magnet (320) and a second axis sensor (820) detecting the movement to a second axis direction of the magnet (320). At this time, the first axis and the second axis may be mutually perpendicular. Furthermore, the first axis and the second axis may be perpendicular to an optical axis.

Hereinafter, operation of dual camera module according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described.

First, an AF function of dual camera module according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described.

When a power is supplied to the first coil (220 a), the first coil (220 a) performs a movement relative to the magnet (320) in response to an electromagnetic interaction between the first coil (220 a) and the magnet (320). At this time, the first bobbin (210 a) coupled to the first coil (220 a) integrally moves along with the first coil (220 a). That is, the first bobbin (210 a) coupled by the first lens module moves to the housing (310) to an optical axis direction. This movement of first bobbin (210 a) may result in the first lens module closing on or distancing from the first image sensor, such that the focus control to a subject can be performed by supplying a power to the first coil (220 a) according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Meantime, the said focus control may be automatically implemented in response to a distance to a subject.

Likewise, when a power is supplied to the second coil (220 b), the second coil (220 b) performs a movement relative to the magnet (320) in response to an electromagnetic interaction between the second coil (220 b) and the magnet (320). At this time, the second bobbin (210 b) coupled to the second coil (220 b) integrally moves along with the second coil (220 b). That is, the second bobbin (210 b) coupled by the second lens module moves to the housing (310) to an optical axis direction. This movement of second bobbin (210 b) may result in the second lens module closing on or distancing from the second image sensor, such that the focus control to a subject can be performed by supplying a power to the second coil (220 b) according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Meantime, the said focus control may be automatically implemented in response to a distance to a subject.

In the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a current supply to the first and second coils (220 a, 220 b) is separately controlled such that the AF driving for the first and second lens modules may be separately controlled.

Now, the OIS function of the dual camera module will be described according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention. When a power is supplied to the third coil (422), the magnet (320) is moved to the third coil (422) in response to the electromagnetic interaction between the third coil (422) and the magnet (320). At this time, the housing (310) coupled with the magnet (320) is integrally moved along with the magnet (320). That is, the housing (310) is moved to the base (430) to a horizontal direction (direction perpendicular to an optical axis). However, at this time, the housing (310) may be induced to be tilted to the base (430). Meantime, the bobbin (210 a, 210 b) may be integrally moved along with the housing (310) in response to the horizontally-directed movement of the housing (310). Hence, the said movement of the housing (310) may result in the lens module coupled with the bobbin (210 a, 210 b) moving to a direction parallel with a direction disposed with the image sensor relative to the image sensor. That is, in the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the supply of power to the third coil (422) may enable to perform the OIS function.

Meantime, in order to implement a more accurate realization of OIS function by the dual lens module according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an OIS feedback function may be performed. The sensor (800) disposed on the base (430) may detect the magnetic field of the magnet (320) disposed on the housing (310). As a result, when the housing (310) performs a relative movement to the base (430), the amount of magnetic field detected by the sensor (800) may be changed. The first axis sensor (810) and the second axis sensor (820) detects the amount of movement or position of the housing (310) to a horizontal direction (x axis and y axis directions) using the foregoing method, and transmits a detected value to the controller. The controller may determine whether to perform an additional movement to the housing (310) using the received value. The said processes are generated in real time to allow the OIS function of the camera module according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention to be more accurately performed through the OIS feedback control.

Hereinafter, configuration of dual camera module according to a modification of the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 13 is a conceptual view illustrating a modification of the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

The dual camera module according to the modification may be different from the dual camera module according the aforementioned first exemplary embodiment of the present invention in that there is a difference in the disposition of magnet (320). Thus, hereinafter, the difference will be focused in explanation between the two exemplary embodiments and other remaining configurations may be inferred from the explanation of the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

The magnet (320) in the modification may be disposed on a lateral surface of housing (310). This is different from the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention in that the magnet (320) is disposed at a corner side of the housing (310). Meantime, the magnet (320) in the modification may be formed with seven (7) pieces. This is different from the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention where the magnet (320) is to be disposed with eight (8) corner magnets. In particular, the application of seven magnets (320) in the modification may allow the magnet (320) disposed between the first and second bobbins (210 a, 210 b) to be commonly used in the AF driving of the first and second bobbins (210 a, 210 b). Meantime, arrangement of N pole and S pole may be different in order to apply the seven magnets (320) in the modification. The magnet (320) facing the first bobbin (210 a) may allow the N pole to face the first bobbin (210 a). Furthermore, the magnet (320) facing the second bobbin (210 b) may allow the S pole to face the second bobbin (210 b). Of course, the arrangement of N pole and S pole of magnet (320) may be also reversely disposed from the previous explanation. The said arrangement structure of magnet (320) will be explained in more details hereinafter.

Now, as a second exemplary embodiment, a dual lens drive device having an arrangement structure of magnet disposed at a lateral surface of housing as in the modification, a dual camera module applied therewith and an optical device will be described in more details with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Hereinafter, the configuration of dual camera module according to the second exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in details with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 25 is a conceptual view of a dual camera module according to a second exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

A dual camera module may include a lens module (1020, 1030), an IR (Infrared) filter (not shown), a PCB (Printed Circuit Board, 1040), and an image sensor (1050, 1060), a controller (not shown) and in addition, a dual lens drive device (1010). However, any one or more of the lens module (1020, 1030), the IR filter, the PCB (1040), the image sensor (1050, 1060), the controller and the dual lens drive device (1010) may be omitted or changed from the configuration of the dual camera module.

The lens module (1020, 1030) may include one or more lenses. The lens module (1020, 1030) may include a lens and a lens barrel. The lens module (1020, 1030) may include one or more lenses (not shown) and a lens barrel accommodating the lenses. However, one element of the lens module (1020, 1030) is not limited by the lens barrel, and any holder structure capable of supporting one or more lenses will suffice. The lens module (1020, 1030) may include a first lens module (1020) and a second lens module (1030). The first lens module (1020) may be coupled to a first bobbin (1210 a). The second lens module (1030) may be coupled to a second bobbin (1210 b). The lens module (1020, 1030) may integrally move with the first and second bobbins (1210 a, 1210 b). The lens module (1020, 1030) may be coupled to the first and second bobbins (1210 a, 1210 b) using an adhesive (not shown). For example, the lens module (1020, 1030) may be screw-coupled to the bobbins (1210 a, 1210 b). Meantime, a light having passed the lens module (1020, 1030) may be irradiated on an image sensor. Furthermore, in the second exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a black mask is applied to a lens to effectively remove the flair phenomenon, the detailed explanation of which will be described later.

The IR filter may shield a light of infrared range incident on the image sensor. The IR filter may be interposed between the lens module (1020, 1030) and an image sensor (1050, 1060). Alternatively, the LR filter may be disposed at a holder member (not shown) separately formed on the base (1430). In another example, the IR filter may be mounted on a through hole (1431 a, 1431 b) of base (1430). The LR filter may include a first LR filter and a second IR filter. The first IR filter may be mounted on the first through hole (1431 a) of base (1430). The second IR filter may be mounted on the second through hole (1431 b). The infrared filter may be formed with a film material or a glass material. The infrared filter may be formed by allowing an infrared cut-off coating material to be coated on a plate-shaped optical filter such as an imaging plane protection cover glass or a cover glass. The infrared filter may be an infrared absorption filter. In another example, the infrared filter may be an IR reflection filter reflecting the IR.

The abovementioned black mask is provided to inhibit miscellaneous lights from being incident on an image sensor by flare phenomenon, and may be formed about an infrared filter. However, when a black mask is formed on an IR filter, there may be a fear of positions of masks being alternately disposed due to accumulation of assembly tolerances in the process of applying two infrared filters when a dual lens is formed. Thus, in the present exemplary embodiment, when a dual lens is formed, a black mark may be formed on a lens module that passes through a separate alignment process.

The PCB (1040) may be disposed at an upper surface of base (1430). The PCB (1040) may be disposed at a lower surface of base (1430). However, a separate holder member may be interposed between the PCB (1040) and the base (1430). The PCB (1040) may be disposed with an image sensor. The PCB (1040) may be electrically connected to an image sensor.

A light having passed the lens module of the dual lens drive device may be irradiated on the image sensor mounted on the PCB (1040).

Through this structure, the image sensor (1050, 1060) may obtain a light having passed the lens module (1020, 1030). The image sensor (1050, 1060) may convert a light irradiated on an effective image region of the image sensor (1050, 1060) to an electric signal. The image sensor may be, for example, a CCD (charge coupled device), a MOS (metal oxide semi-conductor), a CPD and a CID. However, the types of image sensors are not limited thereto, any configuration capable of converting an incident light to an electric signal may be used for the image sensor (1050, 1060).

The controller may perform any one or more of AF function and OIS function of dual camera module by controlling a current supplied to the first to third coils (1220 a, 1220 b). That is, the controller may move the lens module (1020, 1030) to an optical axis direction or move or tilt the lens module (1020, 1030) to a direction perpendicular to an optical axis direction. Furthermore, the controller may perform any one or more of a feedback control of AF function or a feedback control of OIS function.

The dual camera module may further include an FPCB (1070) and a connector (1080). However, any one or more of the FPCB (1070) and the connector (1080) may be omitted or changed from the dual camera module. The FPCB (1070) may connect the PCB (1040) and the connector (1080).

Hereinafter, the operation of dual camera module according to the second exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described.

First, an AF function of dual camera module according to the second exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described.

When a power is supplied to the first coil (1220 a), the first coil (1220 a) performs a movement relative to the magnet (1320) in response to an electromagnetic interaction between the first coil (1220 a) and the magnet (1320). At this time, the first bobbin (1210 a) coupled to the first coil (1220 a) integrally moves along with the first coil (1220 a). That is, the first bobbin (1210 a) coupled by the first lens module (1020) moves to the housing (1310) toward an optical axis direction. This movement of first bobbin (1210 a) may result in the first lens module (1020) closing on or distancing from the first image sensor (1050), such that the focus control to a subject can be performed by supplying a power to the first coil (1220 a) according to the second exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Meantime, the said focus control may be automatically implemented in response to a distance to a subject.

Likewise, when a power is supplied to the second coil (1220 b), the second coil (1220 b) performs a movement relative to the magnet (1320) in response to an electromagnetic interaction between the second coil (1220 b) and the magnet (1320). At this time, the second bobbin (1210 b) coupled to the second coil (1220 b) integrally moves along with the second coil (1220 b). That is, the second bobbin (1210 b) coupled by the second lens module (1030) moves to the housing (310) toward an optical axis direction. The said movement of second bobbin (1210 b) may result in the second lens module (1030) closing on or distancing from the second image sensor (1060), such that the focus control to a subject can be performed by supplying a power to the second coil (1220 b) according to the second exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Meantime, the said focus control may be automatically implemented in response to a distance to a subject.

In the second exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a current supply to the first and second coils (1220 a, 1220 b) is separately controlled such that the AF driving for the first and second lens modules (1020, 1030) may be separately controlled.

Now, the OIS function of the dual camera module will be described according to the second exemplary embodiment of the present invention. When a power is supplied to the third coil, the magnet (1320) is moved to the third coil in response to the electromagnetic interaction between the third coil and the magnet (1320). At this time, the housing (1310) coupled with the magnet (1320) may be integrally moved along with the magnet (1320). That is, the housing (1310) may be moved to the base (1430) toward a horizontal direction (direction perpendicular to an optical axis). However, at this time, the housing (1310) may be induced to be tilted to the base (1430). Meantime, the bobbin (1210 a, 1210 b) may be integrally moved along with the housing (1310) in response to the horizontally-directed movement of the housing (1310). Hence, the said movement of the housing (1310) may result in the lens module (1020, 1030) coupled with the bobbin (1210 a, 1210 b) moving to a direction parallel with a direction disposed with the image sensor (1050, 1060) relative to the image sensor (1050, 1060). That is, in the second exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the supply of power to the third coil may enable to perform the OIS function.

At this time, an inside of the sensor base (2030) may be disposed with the image sensor (2020). Through this structure, a light having passed the lens module (2040) coupled to the lens drive device (3000, 4000) may be irradiated on the image sensor (2020) mounted on the PCB (2010). The PCB (2010) may supply a power (current) to the lens drive device (3000, 4000). Meantime, the PCB (2010) may be disposed with a controller to control the lens drive device (3000, 4000).

The image sensor (2020) may be mounted on the PCB (1040). The image sensor (2020) may be electrically connected to the PCB (2010). For example, the image sensor (2020) may be coupled to the PCB (2010) by way of SMT (Surface Mounting Technology). In another example, the image sensor (2020) may be coupled to the PCB (2010) by way of flip flop technology.

Through this structure, the image sensor (2020) may obtain a light having passed the lens module (2040). The image sensor (2020) may convert a light irradiated on an effective image region of the image sensor (2020) to an electric signal. The image sensor (2020) may be any one or more of a CCD (charge coupled device), a MOS (metal oxide semi-conductor), a CPD and a CID. However, the types of image sensor (2020) are not limited thereto, any configuration capable of converting an incident light to an electric signal may be used for the image sensor (2020).

An upper surface of image sensor (2020) may include an effective image region where an incident light is processed in an image. An upper surface of image sensor (2020) may include an ineffective image region formed at an outside of the effective image region.

For example the filter (2031, 2032) may be an IR absorption filter (Blue filter) that absorbs infrared rays. In another example, the filter (2031, 2032) may be an IR reflection filter (IR cut-off filter) that reflects the infrared rays.

The first cover member (3100) may form an external shape of the first lens drive device (3000). The first cover member (3100) may take a bottom-opened cubic shape. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The first cover member (3100) may be of a non-magnetic substance. If the first cover member (3100) is formed with a magnetic substance, the magnetic force of the first cover member (3100) may affect a second magnet unit (4320) of the second lens drive device (4000). The first cover member (3100) may be formed with a metal material. To be more specific, the first cover member (3100) may be formed with a metal plate. In this case, the first cover member (3100) may shield an EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference). Because of the said characteristic of the first cover member (3100), the first cover member (3100) may be called an “EMI shield can”. The first cover member (3100) can shield radio waves generated from outside of the first lens drive device from being introduced into the first cover member (3100). Furthermore, the first cover member (3100) may shield radio waves generated from inside of the first cover member (3100) from being discharged to outside of the first cover member (3100).

A lower end of the side plate (3102) of the first cover member (3100) may be coupled to a staircase part (3540) of the first base (3500). The first cover member (3100) may be tightly-attached to a portion or all the lateral surface of the first base (3500) to be mounted on the first base (3500). An inner space formed by the first cover member (3100) and the first base (3500) may be disposed with a mover (3200), the stator (3300) and the elastic member (3600).

For example, the coil reception part (3212) may be formed by allowing a portion of the outside of the first bobbin (3210) to be recessed in a corresponding shape with that of the first coil (3220). At this time, the first coil (3220) may be directly wound on a first driving part coupling part (3212). In a modification, the coil reception part (3212) may be formed with an upper or lower side-opened shape. At this time, the first coil (3220) may be inserted into and coupled to the coil reception part (3212) through a pre-wound opened portion.

In this case, the second cover member (4100) may shield an EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference). Because of the said characteristic of the second cover member (4100), the second cover member (4100) may be called an “EMI shield can”. The second cover member (4100) can shield radio waves generated from outside of the second lens drive device from being introduced into the second cover member (4100). Furthermore, the second cover member (4100) may shield radio waves generated from inside of the second cover member (4100) from being discharged to outside of the second cover member (4100).
